Admissions

At Shield Road Primary School, we follow South Gloucestershire Council’s Admissions Policy.   

Applying for a Reception 2024 school place

During the Autumn Term before your child is due to start school, we hold several open mornings where you can visit the school and find out a little more about us.  

For more information about the application process and how to apply for a school place, please visit the South Gloucestershire Council website by following the link below.

South Gloucestershire School Admissions 

The closing date for applications for Early Years Foundation Stage, Reception Class, is January 15th 2024. Please note applications received late may not get their preferred school, even if they have a sibling already in attendance.

Applications should be made to the local authority where the child lives; regardless of the location of the school they are requesting.

Applying for a place once your child has already started full-time education

If you wish to apply for a place at our school once your child has already started full-time education, the South Gloucestershire website also includes the form to apply for an in-year school place.  It is advisable to contact the school first to check if we have any spaces in the year group that you wish to apply for.
